“A very comfortable cottage in a lovely seaside town”



“We spent 3 nights in the cottage in October 2013 which was very enjoyable. The house was very well appointed including free WiFi.We arrived to find a very substantial welcome pack.The town of Eyemouth is very nice with lovely surrounding countryside and a lovely harbour with seals arriving each day hoping to be fed. As we were there for 3 nights we had no requirement for a washing machine but had I stayed for a week I would rather have had a washing machine than a dishwasher.I had a round of golf at Eyemouth Golf Club which I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend it.They serve food regardless of whether you play golf so it's worth a visit even if you don't golf as the view from the clubhouse is lovely.”

“THIS IS OUR SECOND TIME TO DRIFTWOOD COTTAGE. LAST TIME WE WERE THERE WE COMMENTED THAT THE ONLY PROBLEM WE FOUND WAS THE LACK OF HANDRAIL ON THE STAIRS, BUT I AM VERY PLEASED TO REPORT THAT A HANDRAIL HAS BEEN INSTALLED THE FULL LENGTH OF THE STAIRS. MUCH APPRECIATED. ALSO A VERY GOOD WELCOME PACK SUPPLIED.”

Mrs Johnstone, ARMADALE, October 2014

“Cottage was comfortable and attractive, lovely to be able to see the sea. Close to Eyemouth centre, harbour and amenities. We really liked Eyemouth, interesting, friendly place. Lovely coastal walks.”

Mrs Walley, Derby, September 2014

“Brilliant. It was comfortable and clean, the welcome pack was a nice idea. Highly recommended. We will be back again, loved it. A week is not enough.”

Mr Peaker, Frodsham, August 2014

“The cottage is in a really good location within Eyemouth, very close to the sea and shops. There is a good pub, The Contented Sole, nearby for meals as well as a good fish and chip shop. The cottage itself is on three floors with an excellent kitchen on the ground floor and a good size lounge on the first floor. For a reasonably priced cottage it's very well equipped and lots of room.”

Mr Harrison, Market Rasen, June 2014

“Comfortable house, very cosy and warm. Loved the big kitchen.”

Mrs Johnstone, ARMADALE, October 2013

“The cottage was cosy. The cottage is in such a great location, 5 minutes from the beach and harbour, shops, swimming pool and the start of coastal walks. There are lots of interesting places to visit in Eyemouth, but also Edinburgh, and Holy Island are fairly easy to get to if you have a car. The people are really friendly in the town, and we had the feeling that they really wanted us to enjoy our holiday! Absolutely brilliant.”

About the location

EYEMOUTH

Situated on the east coast, just over the Scottish border, and only eight miles north of Berwick upon Tweed, Eyemouth has been a bustling fishing port for centuries, and there is still a fish market supplied from local fishing boats today. Narrow cobbled streets preserve the ancient character of this delightful coastal town, and there are a number of visitor attractions outlining the history of the area. Visit Gunsgreen House and learn some of the history of the town and the smuggling that once took place, or enjoy the museum, fishing heritage centre and art galleries on offer. There are excellent golfing facilities available, with a cliff top course in town and a number of other courses in the area, while walks, cycling, bird watching and visits to castles and country houses are all within a short driving distance. Visit Ayton Castle, Coldingham Priory, Paxton House, Manderston House, Floors Castle and the magnificent walled town of Berwick upon Tweed for an exciting day out. Both Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne are reached in an hour, making Eyemouth a wonderful base for touring South Scotland, and the North of England.
